    Wip Newbie's first post and Ascension style map for prospective novel

    Hi! This is my first post. I have had Ascension's Atlas tutorial in my possession for a while. I have had an idea for a novel in a chrysalis in the back of my brain for a while and have finally reached a point in life where I can relax (a little) and write. As part of the world creation process, I needed a map, so I ended up here. I don't have any country names yet, and just a few elements, but before I went too much further, I figured I would submit for critique first, so here goes...

    I added a small step to Ascension's tutorial where I offset the shole image by 180 degrees when making the initial land mass to ensure that it would tile, and this is that transformation:

    Lastly, I wanted to see the north and south poles from above and below, so I cut the image in half, stretched it vertically and then applied a polar distortion to get:

    Any critiques or comments are welcome!
